Genius - Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth lyrics
The basic instructions before leaving earth (3x)
Chorus: repeat 2x
Life is a test many quest the universe
And through my researchI felt the joy and the hurt
The first shall be last and the last shall be first
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Verse one:
Knowledge this wisdomthis goes back when I was twelve
I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
Had mad ideassad eyes and tears
Years of fearsbut yo my foes couldn't bear
I searched for the truth since my youth
And went to church since birthbut it wasn't worth the loot
That I was payingplus the praying
I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
That the preacher had souped up with lies
Had me cooped up lookin at lootbuttand thighs
Durin the servicehe swallowed up the poor
And after they heard thisthey wallowed on the floor
But I ignoredand explored my history that was untold
And watched mysteries unfold
And dropped a jewel like solomonbut never followed men
Cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
Space obliviaor the abyss
With no trace of trivialeft with the hiss
Does it pay to be deafdumb and blind?
From a slave we was kept from the mind
And from the caves he crept from behind
And what he gavewas the sect of the swine
When the bibleit condemned the pig
I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs
But we used to wear a turbanbut now we're in the urban
No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts
And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
I speak on jacobit might take up some time
And too much knowledgeit might break up the ryhme
I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Those who sit homeor sell books by the market
Need to chill and get their mind revived
For years religion did nothing but divide
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Chorus
Verse two:
I strolled through the books of job to unfold
And open biblesinstead of hoping on revivals
Calling on his name and screaming hallelujah
When he hardly knew yathat's how the devil's fooled ya
See look into my eyes brethrenthat's the lies of a reverend
Why should you die to go to heaven?
The earth is already in spacethe Bible I embrace
A difficult task I had to take
I studied till my eyes was swollenand only arose when
I found out that we were the chosen
I deal with the truthand build with the youth
And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
Sonlife is a pool of sincorrupted wth foolish men
And women with wicked mindswho build picket signs
To legalize abortionthe evil eye distortion
I quiz son with my wisdom
Before I convertedI was pervertedand knowledge was asserted
The study of wisdomI perferred it
The understandingit gave me mental freedom
I even learnt caucasians were really the tribe of edam
The white imageof christis really cesare borgia
And uhhthe second son of pope alexander
The sixth of romeand once the picture was shown
That's how the devils tricked my dome
I prophesized to save a manbut no one gave a damn
For my nation - the seed of abraham
Blessed with the tongue of hebrew
Now we're strung on needlesand some are plungin evils
So study and be wise in these days of darkness
Peace to my nephew marcus
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Chorus: repeat to fade
